Comment by LucidLotus:
This is a nice landscape. I can see how it may be viewed as serene and thus it meets the challenge. I don't find much zen in it though on a personal level. I like the way the expanse folds out. Normally I'd find the ridge on the right distracting and wish I could see the view beyond it, but I find it is pointing my attention down to the valley and lake which is nice. The natural light is a little flat so the colors don't pop and really grab the attention, it feels as though a haze is over the image. I also wish the DOF was a bit deeper than it is, but obviously it can't go ALL the way into the valley. I'd also suggest a bit more of a crop along the bottom to get rid of the white in the corner. I'm not sure if boosting the saturation up a little would get those blues and greens to pop a bit more and possibly pull some of the pink out from the sky or not. Could be worth a shot? I gave a 4

What a great view, I would have cropped the white wall? on the bottom left handside out of the image and possibly waited for the light to capture the water or mountains more in the foreground (MHO)

A pretty shot, but I think there is too much going on here that I don't get a sense of peace or serenity when I look at it. It begs me to discover each and every corner, because there is so much to offer. NOT a bad thing in another challenge, but in this one, it doesn't work well.

5: I find too much too look at in this: the rock at the right, the lake, the sky?

the white rail (?) on the left distracts and the shot is quite soft...a lovely view, but it needs some oomph in the levels and contrast
